Chapter 652： Future Copa America winner

Chapter 652 Future America's Cup Champion Goalkeeper

Salz Red Bull vs. Arsenal in this friendly match, the former is an extremely serious confrontation, and the head coach also conveyed to them the order to test their own strength.

Many of them want to win Arsenal's favor through this game. Although it is difficult, it is not impossible.

Takumi Minamino is one of them.

Soon, the friendly match will begin.

Salz Red Bull kicked off first, and their overall offense is based on a relatively simple sidewalk breakthrough.

But it also happened to meet the defensive positions of Arsenal's two midfielders.

Takumi Minano just got the ball and before he showed any performance, he felt his shoulders sinking, and the next second, he leaned forward uncontrollably, gritting his teeth to stabilize his figure, but the ball under his feet Already lost sight.

Takumi Minano failed to touch the ball for the first time. Looking at Lucy who was walking away with the ball, he immediately ran back to catch up.

However, Lucky has already passed the ball and did not give him any chance to grab the ball.

After passing the ball, Lucky returned to his position.

He is not a technical player, so he will not perform any fancy moves.

Lucky's playing style is for the existence of competitive sports, without any performance posture.

On the other hand, Wilshere, Aubameyang, including Lukaku are having fun in the frontcourt.

The three of them have extremely strong foot skills, and they dribble forward in various ways, which is enough to watch.

Among them, Lukaku also performed a fat version of human ball points and fried balls.

A two-hundred-pound strong man is playing fried meatballs. This scene is the hottest that Le Kai has ever seen.

But Lukaku really understood.

Of course, the Salzburg Red Bull is not completely without strength, and soon launched a quick counterattack.

Taking advantage of Le Kai's failure to return to defense, he advanced from the left at high speed.

"I come!"

Jimenez rushed up directly.

Seeing Jimenez rushing forward, Hummels immediately formed a relatively defensive position, and the two full-backs also entered the penalty area for protection.

Jimenez's start was quick, and he rushed to the opponent's dribbler in the blink of an eye.

He didn't even give the opponent any chance to fake moves, nor did he control the sense of distance, but directly shoveled the ball out of the field with a decisive sliding tackle.

The Salz Red Bull player was a little depressed, he didn't expect Arsenal's attack and steal to be so decisive.

Lucky also couldn’t help giving a thumbs up after seeing the excellent performance of the back line.

It's a strange feeling for Lucky, but it's not bad!

In previous Arsenal games, Lucky didn’t dare to advance too far, and always had to be wary of the opponent’s counterattack.

This is based on the problem of Arsenal's defense.

Now that the partners of Hummels and Jimenez have been replaced, the defense line has become stronger and has sufficient independent combat capabilities.

This also gave Lucky enough confidence to advance resolutely!

"Good job!"

Le Kai walked over, pulled Jimenez up and patted him on the shoulder to encourage him.

Jimenez was also very satisfied with the defense this time, and joked with a smile; "Captain, how much is this defense?"

Le Kai laughed; "It must be full marks!"

This sentence made Jimenez smile even more happily.

It is an honor to be recognized by Lucky in defense.

Due to Jimenez's steal, Salz Red Bull's offensive rhythm was also forced to be reimbursed.

They can only pass back and restart the organization.

But Arsenal's overall lineup began to press forward, and Lucky and Kanter frequently made steals in the midfield.

At 20 minutes, Le Kai suddenly completed the steal in the midfield, striding the ball forward.

This change caught Salz Red Bull a little off guard.

The defenders quickly retreated, and at the same time, one of them wanted to step forward to limit Lucy.

But Le Kai swung his right foot directly.

The defensive player was frightened and strode forward to block, but Le Kai's high-swinging right foot was slowly lowered, and after continuing to shake the ball to the right to get out of the neutral position, he went straight to the ball.

The ball passed through the middle of the central defender and the full-back, and came to the position behind.

Aubameyang also rushed to the horse, facing the ball with an inverted triangle pass.

Lukaku pushed the goal easily, and the ball hit the net.

After scoring the goal, Lukaku began to dance with his **** twisting.

Le Kai also smiled and applauded; "The cooperation is very good, keep playing like this!"

Arsenal's side was kicked away.

But Salz Red Bull is very uncomfortable.

Facing Arsenal, they fell into a natural disadvantage. They couldn't control the ball, couldn't grab the ball, and couldn't break through the opponent's defense.

It seems that everything is restricted.

Minamino Takumi was also sweating profusely.

The game only started 20 minutes, but his performance was terrible, not to mention his performance, he even conceded three goals.

It can be seen how much pressure Le Kai put on him.

Fortunately, Arsenal started to make substitutions in 35 minutes.

Lucky and Wilshere went off, and the other substitutes came on in chaos.

Lucky sits directly on the bench after leaving the field. There is a high probability that Mourinho will not let him play again.

After all, it’s just an exhibition match, so it’s enough to make a point.

The situation on the field is also very good. Even without Lucky, Arsenal's offense is still unfolding in an orderly manner.

The defense is extremely tough.

In the second half, both sides made large-scale substitutions.

Although Arsenal only scored one goal, the tacit cooperation between them has begun to appear.

This is better news than a goal.

Arsenal today is short on the end of the offense.

That's a goal!

But Arsenal are not in a hurry, they will be able to adapt slowly.

Soon the 90 minutes were over.

In this exhibition match, Arsenal finally won 2-1.

The conceded goal was also a deliberate waterproofing of Arsenal's defense. After all, it is unreasonable not to let one at home.

After this exhibition game, Arsenal also completed the task of three warm-up matches, and the time has come to August. They need to return to the UK and prepare for the new season after two rounds of warm-up matches.

Of course, before the start of the league, Arsenal, as the FA Cup champion, needs to play a Community Shield game with Leicester City.

But this game is not very critical.

On the one hand, this award has no practical effect, and is more of a symbolic nature, such as a good state before the season, etc.

On the other hand, after experiencing the exploitation of the transfer period, how much fighting power can Leicester City have?

The departure of Mahrez and other main players has almost drained the core of Leicester City.

Although they are the Premier League champions, this season will not be easy for them.

This is also the tragedy of the civilian team!

On August 1, the entire Arsenal team arrived at the Kearney training base.

Mourinho let the players leave after a brief summary.

"I feel like I've found my groove!"

"We will definitely perform better when we play Everton next."

"I'm finally back, go home, take a good hot bath, and sleep well!"

"I'm going to Mrs. Winter's for a corn mush first!"

"Bring me one!"

In the locker room, Arsenal players communicated while arranging their equipment.

Compared to the stiff atmosphere at the beginning, after a few warm-up matches, the strangeness between each other has decreased a lot, the communication has become much more frequent, and the relationship has also rapidly warmed up.

Lucky is also organizing equipment.

At this moment, the door creaked open.

Everyone subconsciously looked at the locker room door.

A big tall guy in a goalkeeper shirt walks in.

This person first glanced at the crowd, opened his mouth slightly, but didn't say anything, and walked towards the locker silently.

Along the way, everyone was at a loss.

‘Who is this? '

To be honest, they don't remember having such a number one on the team.

Le Kai looked at the goalkeeper thoughtfully.

Emiliano Martinez.

Argentina's main goalkeeper, the champion goalkeeper who will win the Copa America in the future.

If Lucky remembers correctly, Martinez was promoted to the first team in 2011, but Lucky only met once at that time, and was soon loaned out.

After that, Martinez has been living a life on loan. Although he is a nominal Arsenal player, for some newcomers, they are still very strange to Martinez.

Now Martinez is estimated to have returned to Arsenal after the loan contract expired.

It is not very clear whether it will continue to be loaned out, or will stay in the team as a substitute goalkeeper.
